Derek and his team went above and beyond my expectations. Their communication, service and support was outstanding. We sold at a great price in a challenging market. Thank you so much, forever grateful.
It was a pleasure to have Derek to market our property, the sale went ahead seamlessly. We were were kept continuedly updated on progress and Derek's facilitation and knowledge of murmurous sales in the Otaki Gorge was certainly a strong point when we were looking at agent to market our property.
Having Derek as the agent on the property I purchased made the whole process very easy. Derek has a fantastic sense of humour and is very easy to chat with. He returned call super fast and his advice was fantastic. 10/10
As buyers, our experience with Derek was excellent. He has an engaging and friendly manner, and was immensely supportive throughout the buying process. He has real strength as a communicator, and acts and communicates with integrity. Derek is a highly recommended agent, and I'd happily recommend him personally, whether you're buying or selling.
A tough market to be selling in and other agencies were not very enthusiastic; my expectations were low until Kelly & Co stepped in. Maureen and Derek were quite positive right from the start, and they knew exactly the type of buyer it would appeal to. They marketed accordingly, never over promising but quietly optimistic after strong open home attendances. The enquiries ramped up, and Maureen certainly over delivered with two cash buyers signed up before deadline sale date. The property sold inside within 4 weeks, well played Maureen, great work getting the best deal I could have hoped for and in a very tough market as well.
Maureen, Derek and their outstanding, friendly and responsive team at Kelly and Co Ōtaki provided expert advice and helped us to sell our property quickly and with no fuss. Maureen and Derek worked hard, produced excellent marketing and achieved a timely sale and great outcome. I can wholeheartedly recommend Maureen, Derek and their fantastic team.
Derek and Te Ataahua did an absolutely outstanding job selling our dad’s home. From the very beginning, they showed exceptional kindness and genuine thoughtfulness, taking the time to understand our family’s situation and guide us through each step with care. Their communication was clear, timely, and always reassuring, which made us feel confident throughout the entire process. What impressed us most was their professionalism and the result they achieved. They brought in four strong offers within just ten days, far exceeding our expectations. Their strategy, market knowledge, and dedication clearly paid off, and it was obvious that they were committed to securing the best possible outcome for us. The whole process was incredibly smooth, stress-free, and surprisingly easy. At every stage, Derek and Te Ataahua handled everything with efficiency and calm, allowing us to focus on what mattered without feeling overwhelmed. We are truly grateful for their hard work and the care they showed our family. We highly recommend Derek and Te Ataahua to anyone looking for real estate agents who go above and beyond.
When we had some questions Derek came back very quick with the answers we needed so as we could keep developing our plans going forward.
Derek was amazing to work with, nothing was a problem, every phone call and email was answered in a timely manner. Derek took time to explain the land, introduce me to the seller to have an ongoing relationship.
Derek made the purchasing process stress free and seamless. He was approachable and welcoming, would highly recommend Derek to other whanau and friends. Ngā mihi and best wishes for the future.
We found Derek to be professional, available and supportive. His and his teams’s marketing skills and advice were very much appreciated by both of us. The sale process was managed very well for which we are grateful.
When first meeting with Derek and Tracey I immediately felt at ease and was comfortable talking about my wishes for the sale process. They listened and guided me through what they thought was the best and most effective way of marketing my property. Also they eased my concerns about having open days. Their knowledge of the local market especially lifestyle blocks was a major factor in me selecting them. The fact that we received a firm offer within four days of the property being listed was totally amazing . They were very supportive throughout the whole process and particularly with discussions to meet the conditions of the offer. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Derek and Tracey to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in this area .
